Alan Gregory returns in a gripping thriller — the first of the dramatic two-part conclusion to Stephen White’s acclaimed bestselling series.

He refocuses his energy on his psychology practice‚ where a beguiling new patient is challenging his values. The interlude of calm doesn’t last‚ of course: Alan’s dear friend Diane is showing signs of an emotional collapse‚ and Alan’s greatest fear — the exposure of his most dangerous secret — has become something he can’t ignore.
